I once went in to VW to ask why i'd had the 'coil pack recall' stamped in my book, but not actually had them replaced.

Whilst waiting, annoyed already , one of the 'vw bods' told me that he can do me a great deal on new tyres as mine were looking dangerous. However I'd LITERALLY just driven from the garage where I'd had BRAND NEW tyres fitted!  :grin: :grin:

Pull another one VW!

I had something similar at VW in Nuneaton although the tyres weren't new but had worn to 5mm. I was advised I should have them changed straightaway and I should get Continentals from them as they were much harder and would wear much better than the Michelins that were on the car (these were Michelin Energy Saver, which I have found to be harder than granite btw).
I politely declined and tried my best to not piss myself laughing.

you think thats bad...

I took my mk6 gti into the dealers for its first service only to be told that I needed to change the bulbs for my front 2 indicators as they were on the way out. They said they would just charge me £28 for the job. They got told to fcuk off! :scared:

How they know when a bulb is about to go is a mystery to me but I imagine they could make a fair bit of money by sharing that secret. 30,000 miles later and the bulbs were still fine  :jumpmove:

Really, wtf? Odd way for a shop to try building confidence in them, yes? I'm guessing you never gave them more business, right?

Took my front bumper off to re-align it and think now that I've got a new wing so that is why it doesn't sit quite perfectly. All went swimmingly until my neighbours chubby and stupid staffy decided my t25 screwdriver was a new toy and wobbled off down the road with it in his mouth! Cue swearing  :mad: and a Usain Bolt moment to retrieve it complete with slobber and a few teeth marks.

I love dogs and Staffy's are wrongly given such a bad press. All the ones I know are absolute darlings. Strong yes, but calm temperament unless you say the word C A T and that's another reason why I like them so much!  :evilgrin:

Just put on the 312mm brakes replacing my 288mm setup. Seeing as I was due a brake fluid change anyway, I just put on the factory red calipers/carriers I got.

Old fluid was definitely darker than the new stuff, even ran the ABS flush procedure with VCDS.

Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Booked my car in for it's first DSG service for Monday coming.

It's currently only on 37.5k and the DSG service is due at 40k but I wanted to get it sorted out sooner rather than later for peace of mind.
